Summary: Family Fun!
Review: This movie is fun to watch. It is about the Irwins trying to save a crocodile that swallowed a valuable piece of metal that looks like a top from the "poachers", who are really CIA agents trying to get the space thing back. One part that's really funny is when they are talking about how dangerous Steve Irwin is, and there are goofy photos of him in the background. It is a fun movie that will make you laugh, especially if you love Steve Irwin. I am a big fan of his, so I like this movie. It's cute. There are some parts, when Steve is not shown, that are really boring, like when the CIA agents are talking back in Washington DC.

My pet peeve is the DVD menu. I cannot read it! Even with my glasses on! The font is weird and hard to read, and it's also tiny and in a light color that is hard to read. That's my only problem with this DVD. Great extras, like a video with the Baha men!

Summary: Croc of [...]
Review: As an Australian I have a deep fear that anyone after watching this movie who does not live in Australia would believe that our country is full of Steve Irwin characters who keep crocodiles in our backyards with kangaroos hopping all over the countryside.

Steve Irwin is an example of a bushman. A person who lives in the bush or country areas of outback Australia and these guys must get a little crazy living in remote areas. The accents of these guys are the strongest of all Australians (the term we use for their accents is "slang" which is basically taking shortcuts to pronouce words. For example instead of saying "good day" we would say "gday"). However the term "crikey" is NOT a common term Australians use - in fact Steve is the first Australian I have ever heard use the term on a regular basis.

Don't get me wrong - the guy is not a complete [fool] but I can't work out if Steve has a death wish or whether it is all just an act but why would anyone who has made the amount of money he has made through the sucess of his tv series and crocodile parks risk throwing it all away by having his head bitten off by a crocodile, or die from a snake or spider bite (Australia has some of the deadliest snakes in the world.

I respect what he is doing for the wildlife but this movie is just ridiculous and the only reason you would laugh is because of the [silly]way Steve behaves. In fact I think he is Australia's version of the Jackass MTV series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: my absolute favorite movie!
Review: If your a big fan of animal planet's crocodile hunter tv show, then you will love this movie! Plenty of action, awsome stunts! I recomend as good family entertainment fun. The only dissapiontment that I got out of it was the fact that it was recorded as widescreen format. If you haven't seen this DVD go out and get it! Its worth the money.

Summary: It works.
Review: You would think that a comic-action movie revolving around a fallen spy satellite interspersed with segments of the Crocodile Hunter just wouldn't work as a movie. That's what I thought, but I was wrong. The formula works, and works well. CROCODILE HUNTER has a little bit of something for everyone: action, comedy, suspense, a little bit of romance, guns, a car chase, and lots of wild animals. The violence is tame, there is no sex, and there really isn't any foul language. It's a film that the whole family will enjoy, unless your biased against Steve Irwin's show.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Amateurish, but OK for Steve fans
Review: A rather lame attempt to weave the Crocodile Hunter into a movie. Every aspect of this comedy-drama is subpar. The whole technique of meshing a typical Steve documentary into a hackneyed spy thriller became less and less effective as the movie went on. Steve just can't be that unassuming all the time. Though well acted, the character of Brozzie was horribly annoying throughout. We have no sympathy, regardless of what made her the way she was. No dramatic tension ever developed in the movie. We spent most of our time waiting to see the guard dogs kill and eat Ranger Sam. And he was the most likable character in the movie. When a movie just stops and shows uninteresting outtakes as its grand climax, you know it has completely fallen apart. But what did we want from the movie? Steve and Terri spend almost all their time doing their usual thing with the animals, which is why we love to watch them in the first place. In a couple instances, we got subtle reminders that Terri is built like a brick you-know-what. Yowza! Sure, I'm jealous of Steve. This is an amazingly incompetent attempt to cram a fun documentary couple into a theatrical movie. Kids will like it. Croc Hunter fans can tolerate it. But if you're not either of those, just avoid it. In all honesty, the movie really does deserve only one star. But hey, it's Steveo! I just can't bring myself to do it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Actually, this movie ain't bad
Review: I saw this on Movies on Demand. Didn't know why? But I did. When the movie was over, I saying to myself this movie is not bad. I was trying to say a line from the Fairly Odd Parents "It's violent and educational, but mostly violent. This movie to tell you the truth was O.K.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Um... No Thanks
Review: Ok,there are a lot of better movies out there. Ok,i went to a store and bought the following movies.

Men In Black 2
Scobby Doo
Crocidille Hunter-The Big Dissappointment

Men In Black 2 was awesome and so was Scobby Doo but when I put the Crocidille Hunter-The Big Disappointment DVD into the DVD player.I thought WHY BOTHER! It's like they put an episode from the TV and put it on a DVD! It's an ok movie but ok doesn't put the whole milk in the carton.expression

Grade- C- 70% not the best grade on a math quiz but not totally terrible.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good family viewing , except...
Review: My wife, 7 yr. old son, and I watched this movie together at the theater and again when it came out on DVD. My wife and I thought it was good clean fare until the day that our son said his first curse word. One day I was drilling a hole in some wood in my kitchen and the drill bit made a very loud, high-pitched sound. My son was watching something on the TV so he shouted "Shut that damn thing off!" when the drill interferred with his program. Shut it off I did! His mother and I told him he would never watch the TV again if he did not tell us where he heard that word. After a great deal of crying and apologizing he said he heard in on the Croc. Hunter movie. Watching it again for the Xth time we heard Brosie say, "Shut off the damn water!" We had never noticed this but my 7 yr old son had. He received just punishment and strong admonishment about proper language in our home but we still let him watch the movie because we all love the Irwins.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not bad, but not great
Review: If you like the show, you'll probably like this movie. It's basically a sow with a goofy plot about a spy satillite tacked on to fill up time. The bad point of this movie is that the animal encounters seem to be staged, so it loses some of the excitement and energy present in the show. If you're not a fan of Steve's, you sould give this a pass. If you ARE a fan, well you already have it, don't you?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Stop complaining about the story and enjoy Steve-O
Review: This was a fun movie for all ages if you care about Australian wildlife. Some complain that the story is flimsy. But really, how hard is it to believe that, the designed-to-be indestructable data storage unit of US Intelligence satellite ends up in a croc's stomach, after the satellite explodes? And then Steve Irwin needs to relocate that croc at the same time as US agents are trying to retrieve what's inside the croc? Steve's croc chasing had me on the edge of my seat. I learned about crocs, spiders, snakes, and kangaroos. The US agents, and the rancher whose cattle the croc eats add good clean comedy to the film. If you don't appreciate Steve Irwin, then just stay away from this movie.
